Hermitage Pediatric Dentist
Anyone who has visited Hermitage Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS is probably familiar with Chomp.

Occasionally, Hermitage Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS gets the opportunity to interview Chomp. During these interviews, the Hermitage Pediatric Dentist poses dental questions which have been submitted by local students. Here is another in a series of interviews between Chomp and Hermitage Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS.
Hermitage Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS: Hello, Chomp, and welcome back for another interview.
Chomp: Hi, Dr. Snodgrass. I’m delighted to be back. Have you got some new questions for me?
Hermitage Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS: Oh yes, the kids have been writing in. They are very curious about the animal kingdom.
Chomp: Well, you came to the right alligator!
Hermitage Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS: Here’s an interesting one to start us off, submitted by a 4th grader. Do minnows have teeth?
Chomp: Yes. Even though minnows are one of the tiniest fish, they do have teeth. You may never have seen minnow teeth, because their teeth are actually in their throats.
Hermitage Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS: Let’s stick to the subject of small animals for a moment. Do snails have teeth?
Chomp: You may be surprised to learn that a snail has thousands of teeth.
Hermitage Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS: Really? That’s almost as many as a shark!
Chomp: Yes, but they are very tiny teeth, all arranged in neat rows.
Hermitage Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS: Well, what is the smallest toothed creature in the animal kingdom?
Chomp: The smallest animal with teeth is the mosquito. People might guess that a mosquito has teeth, because it bites. But most people don’t know that a mosquito has 47 teeth.
Hermitage Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS: That’s more teeth than a human being!
Chomp: Quite true. Adult humans, by comparison, only have 32 teeth.
Hermitage Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS: Can you tell us something about the teeth of alligators like yourself?
Chomp: An alligator loses and regrows its teeth as many as 40 times throughout its entire life.
Hermitage Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS: 40 sets of teeth?! That’s amazing. Humans only get two sets of teeth, their baby teeth and their adult teeth.
Chomp: Well, we alligators do a bit more “chomping” than humans.
Hermitage Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS: Just like your name says. That’s all the time we have for today, Chomp. Thank you so much for answering our questions.
Chomp: You’re welcome, Dr. Snodgrass. Talk to you soon!
